Yuelarbah walking track to Flaggy Creek

A great way to explore the tree canopy and valley in one easy walk. From the car park, you will be lead along a 100m long elevated timber boardwalk that brings you eye level with the tree canopy. Continue into the valley following the gently undulating wide track to cross Flaggy Creek using a solid suspension bridge. From the bridge, it is just 40m to a pleasant picnic area near the creek. You will find a rough track leading down to the rock platform that forms the Flaggy Creek bed, from the picnic area. The walk is gently sloping downhill most of the way to the picnic area, so it is uphill the way back.

Yuelarbah car park

Yuelarbah car park[1] on Burwood Rd, Kahibah is the starting point to a number of walking and MTB tracks within the Glenrock State Conservation Area. There is a sheltered information sign[2] with historical and natural heritage information. There are about 25 parking bays, and a mobility parking bay

. The footpath has a handrail on each side and initally zig zags[5] downhill before joining the timber boardwalk[6]. The elevated boardwalk[7] has (1m high) handrails[8] and leads through the bush for just shy of 100m, where there is a small step down

). This walk stays on the main wide path as is gently undulates mostly dowhill for another 400m, then coming to a 3-way intersection[10], marked with a ‘Yuelarbah Track’ sign[11] (and track[12] on the right) just before a large foot bridge[13].

Very easy

Continue straight: From the intersection[14], this walk follows the ‘Yuelarbah Track’ sign[15] down and across the large foot suspension bridge, over Flaggy Creek[16]. On the other side of the bridge, this walk leads gently up to a T-intersection[17] with a wide track[18].

Very easy

Turn left: From the intersection, this walk follows the wide gravel track[19] towards the yellow and black sign in the distance[20], keeping the creek down to the left[21]. The track leads over a gentle rise then down to a concrete platform[22] with two picnic tables[23]

on a large concrete slab. There is a rough track[24] that leads down to the cascades[25] on the creek. There is also a warning sign saying that the creek water may be contaminated from sewerage overflow and swimming is not advised.[26]. It is, however, a very pleasant spot to enjoy the quiet and peacefull valley.
